During 2017 the Association celebrated its 25th year: to commemorate the event, the OEKO-TEX® Association has conducted the study “The key to confidence: the consumer and their attitude to Textile Sustainability. Changes in behaviour and perspectives”, whose objective is to evaluate consumer attitudes towards textile sustainability.

The opinions of more than 11,000 consumers on textiles in general and more specifically home textiles, were taken into account by the study. The opinions were collected online and looked at aspects including climate change, hazardous substances in textiles and the social wellbeing of workers in the industry, among other questions.
